Reviews

Former tenant·just now

Good unit, “landlord special” repairs

Pros

The apartment is spacious, is pet friendly, has central air, and yard access. Management is responsive.

Cons

Management will come to your house and not fix anything. Ever. We’ve had a leak running through our ceiling and walls for years and they just spackle over it.

Former tenant·7 months ago

The sidewalk in front of the building is a repository for dog poop.

Pros

Modern clean and fine inside.

Cons

Trash is always present in front of the building Very UNSANITARY dog poop issue. Advise filling open areas in sidewalk with concrete

Advice to the owners

See above. This will cause the lease to be not renewed and I will tell everyone I know to not rent there until this is rectified. It is a nasty situation.
